Believe it or not, online dating is a male dominated industry. But that didn’t stop LaVonya Reeves from creating her own. She is the founder and CEO of online dating site Reboundlovers.com.
Reboundlovers launched in 2010 and is now a global dating site that offers a place for singles looking to re-enter into the dating scene, whether they’re newly divorced, separated, ended a relationship or just looking to meet new people and have fun.
Reeves got the idea for Reboundlovers after a bad divorce.
“Although there are divorced dating sites, I thought about a dating site not just for the divorced but also for the jilted and broken hearted,” says Reeves. “Everyone has been on the rebound at some point in their life.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oprah Winfrey earned the rare opportunity to convert her media charisma into a monogramed TV channel. Now she’s the one tasked with rescuing OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network, after a disappointing first year.
It’s a high-stakes, potentially ego-shattering challenge that could make the strongest woman or man flinch. But win or lose, Winfrey says she relishes the fight to turn OWN’s fortunes around.
“Yes, some mistakes were made. Who hasn’t made mistakes? The real beauty is you can say, ‘I learned from that,’” Winfrey said. “I don’t worry about failure. I worry about, ‘Did I do all I could do?’”
What comes right after the New Year? Winter. Yes the most depressing time of the year, right behind the holidays.
Some of us will get snowed in and under, while others will feel the blues for a number of reasons. January might not be the best time to try something new. In fact, it’s just not natural.
Wait for spring to do your thing. I’m not saying procrastinate. But spring is the best time to put new resolutions in action. Use the winter to properly plan your exit strategy from the old you.
Take nature for example. Nature is preparing to hunker down and hibernate. Naturally, we should do the same. Who wants to start a new fitness plan in zero temperatures? Not me. But while hibernating, I will continue juicing and changing up the diet.
Plus as the winter bills heat up, most of us will be working more to stay afloat. To try something altogether new at the beginning of the year could backfire. In the end, we might feel more depressed if we find we can’t participate or keep up.
Spring will be here before we know. Now is the time to plan properly to better ease into our new selves in the spring. After winter, we will peel off the layers with greater success.
Let’s give ourselves not 30 days but 90 days. See, already you’re exhaling with additional time to plan. Don’t make promises you can’t keep. Like nature, double up on reserves to get through winter and be ready to spring forward at the right time.
Concentrate on relationships; stay in tuned and in touch through winter; and build your team for spring. While staying out of the elements, create the vision you want to be and see.
Join organizations and associations. Do for and help others get through down times. Create learning moments. Read and read more. Learn and learn more.
If you really want to see a new you in the New Year — Wait for Spring to do Your Thing!
Sonia Sanchez, 77, will be named Philadelphia’s first poet laureate.
For years, people have called her the “unofficial poet laureate of Philadelphia.” Now it’s official.
Sonia Sanchez, 77, poet, teacher, mentor, activist, and revered Philadelphian, will be named the city’s first poet laureate by Mayor Nutter in an 11 a.m. ceremony Thursday at City Hall.
Sanchez is the author of at least 18 books of poetry, as well as plays and children’s books.
A key player in Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann’s Iowa campaign has switched sides, joining the campaign of Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) in the final push before the Iowa caucuses. According to Talking Points Memo‘s Livewire blog, Iowa State Senator Kent Sorenson announced yesterday that he would be leaving Bachmann’s organization.
Sorenson was addressing the crowd at a Ron Paul rally when he made the surprise announcement, saying that the race has reached a “turning point.” He echoed Paul supporters’ contentions that the “Republican establishment” is seeking to undermine Rep. Paul’s recent surge in the polls.
In the wake of the defection, the Bachmann camp is alleging that the Paul personnel offered Sorenson a “large amount of money” to shift his endorsement. Time magazine’s Mark Halperin points readers to a response by Bachmann herself, who read a prepared statement for reporters and took no questions yesterday.
